      The fact that SCOTUS did this knowing the democrats won't actually take advantage of this golden opportunuty to consolidate power really says it all

        Using "I was going to vote for Joe Biden after the immunity ruling, but he refuses to blow up the SC Justices before they overturn gay marriage so I won't" as a reason now lmao

          They literally have no excuses anymore. Everything that democratic voters insist that their guy wanted to do but couldn't is 100% doable now. With the power of legal assasination given to the presidency, all that shit would now be possible. That dems won't do it is proof of their lack of interest or conviction in their stated goals

            They're too busy hand-wringing that democracy has ended fucking lmao

            If their guy did that, I think a lot of them would actually abstain from voting

        I encourage Joe Biden to gather all the right wing state governors and every single Republican he can for a grand July 4th celebration with an announcement. Tell them he wants to discuss something with immigration and funding from the federal government... that'll probably get them to show up. Just a big ol' freedom BBQ in and around the Capitol building.

        And then he can do the funniest thing in history

      Oh no that would be bad and wrong, he'd have to put Trump on an international terrorism list first, THEN he could do what Obama did and murder Trump and his children with a drone strike

        Imagine Matt Miller and Kirby telling the press gaggle that there would be an internal investigation into the alleged drone striking of an ex-president

        "It's tough cookies, folks. Look. Donald Trump wasn't a good guy. And hey, I get it, and we're investigating. But you know what? I don't hear any of you talking about what he did on Jan 6. Did you forget? I didn't and President Biden didn't either. It's a tragic thing that his entire extended family is dead. I agree! But let's not forget who he was and what he did. It's real tough, folks. So let the pentagon look into it, and we'll let you know. Alright anymore questions? No more about Trump."

          Look, at this time it's impossible for you to know- for anyone to know, what happened at Mar a Lago. Okay? Now, (speaking over the reporter) NOW, the Republicans are saying one thing, and the Pentagon hasn't completed their investigation. We're going to wait for the results of that investigation, but what I will say is there's reason to believe that Mar a Lago was being used to store military hardware.

        Misfired hamas missile that came back down and hit mar a Lago. Because it was actually fired from Mar a Lago. Secret hamas base all along.

          Actually it was an Orange Dome missile run by the Florida State Guard, time to invade Florida for blowing up a president.

      I'm far from knowledgeable on constitutional law, but skimming the linked ruling, it's very vague and seems to basically say that the supreme Court gets to decide if something is constitutional or not. So a united executive branch and judicial branch can do whatever they want with impunity.

      They say the president has absolute immunity from criminal persecution "for actions within his conclusive and preclu- sive constitutional authority." And he also has presumptive immunity for "all his official acts." And ofc I'm sure it's up to the supreme to decide what qualifies an an official act, whether the presumptive immunity should be upheld, and whether an action is within the presidents "conclusive and precious I've constitutional authority".

        Okay so just kill all the Republican court justices first, appoint new ones and have them rule the act an official one, then drone strike Mar-a-Lago. Simple.

          Let's be real. He'll refuse to do anything meaningful with his power, hand over the dictatorship to Trump after losing, and then blame leftists and the youth while Trump removes everybody left of Romney from power.
